SEC Filings Map Out Inner Workings Of Comcast/TWC Deal

Comcast and Time Warner Cable initially broached the subject of a possible merger almost a year ago, before deciding to pull the trigger on a deal in February, according to documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

According to an S-4 registration statement filed by Comcast on March 20 outlining an upcoming special shareholders’ meeting to approve its $69 billion deal to acquire Time Warner Cable, TWC executives first approached Comcast about a possible deal back in June 2013, shortly after Charter Communications began talks about its own possible deal with the New York-based cable operator.
